My family lives along lake Huron in Michigan.I love looking for petoskey stones! I've had pretty good luck even in the lower part of the state were they are not supposed to be super common.
I found 10 eggs and gave them to a fellow that showed me what to look for and he acted like I just gave him a million dollars. I never did see what was inside, but his expression was reward enough for me.
Very cool great story and informative. I follow Agate Dad and he cuts these open often. I just watched him cut a little ones and in comments someone mentioned this so I had to look it up to watch it. Very cool.
I have 2 Thunder Eggs we Disovered in Colorado some 40 years ago, I opened 1, and the other is Unopened. Beutiful Blue Agate in these. The size of a Baseball.
My grandma liked to do lapidary and taught us how to make rock jewelry. We found a neat, unique rock in the backyard and she cut it open for us on her saw. It was black with white whisps, very pretty. Reminds me of these, but I don't think it's the same thing.
2:33 now that’s something special. It’s gotta form in this specific way millions of years ago, only to be spotted by us, and one clean cut in one specific direction, made it look like a chick. Truly special.
There is a science called Geology. It studies rocks, among other things related to the composition of Earth. You bet geologists didn't came up with the concept of Earth being millions years old just because. If by chance your objection is based on the Biblical telling of Creation in 6 days, please notice that God is eternal, and nobody is hurrying him. What for us is a million years, is a second for him - and vice versa. God *owns* time. The Bible was written according to the size of man's mind, not God's. I highly recommend you to read about Geology, Paleontology, Archeology. You can check in the Crash Course channel the History of Science course. There are several chapters mentioning Geology and Astronomy, with the first explorers and scientists who *realized* that our Earth and the Universe are way older and larger and more complex than what the ancient peoples believed. The channel PBS Eons tackles the Paleontology part in depth. If anything, sciences prove that God is greater than what your head can contain.

Great combination between traditional Easter Egg Hunts and fossil finding!
Oh my, I have an old thunderegg my dad gave me from there, it has not been cut! Now I’m excited to see what it might look like!

Very beautiful. Nature has a pretty incredible artist!
....and his name is God.
This is awesome. I follow quite a few rockhounds on youtube, and one of my faves is when they cut thunder eggs🤩
Love this story ❤️ Ty 😊

They let you take them because it’s so remote. It is a long hard road to get a bucket full.
